Tasting - 2019 Chateau Landat Haut-Medoc

 




 Name: Chateau Landat

Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon (65%), Merlot (35%), Petit Verdot (5%)

Region: Haut-Medoc, Bordeaux

Country: France

Year: 2019

Price: $20






Wine Enthusiast's Review: "Ripe and rich, it is already a smooth and fruity wine. Black plums and black currants shine here supported by a dry core of tannins that is sure to soften." (90)

Personal Review: While I was in northern Virginia I got to stop by Total Wine & More, and perused their half bottle section. Luckily, I was able to find this steal in the mix! A Cabernet Sauvignon-heavy left bank Bordeaux displays all the best of Bordeaux for a very reasonable price. The tannins are velvety smooth and each flavor is subtle and rounded perfectly. I had this wine by itself but it would have been amazing with pork chops or a roast.
